Join CPA-NA's bi-monthly drop-in conversation called “Linking Conversations.”
In this meeting, we will talk about the overwhelm as related crises unfold both internationally and in the United States - the eco-fascist, white supremacist murders in Buffalo, the assault on reproductive freedom, fires, heat waves, food shortages and war in Ukraine. We will discuss ways we link these crises and ways to manage the overwhelm - both for ourselves and our clients.
Generally, in this bi-monthly Linking Conversation series, we will think and talk together about what’s happening in the world–such as extreme weather, political moments, and cultural flashpoints–and about linking thought and action, being and doing, the internal and external worlds. Through these conversations, we hope create links that will help us bear the weight of climate change and find spaciousness from which to act.
The conversations are founded on the idea that to build an empathic and justice oriented response to the climate crisis, we need to support and honor those parts of being human that “link” - to our own inner lives, to the subjective experiences of others, to the collective lived experience of our communities, and to the environment in which we live and upon which we depend. In a culture that persistently attacks and disavows these links, we aim to recognize and support them.
